AB  - Analyzes oft-quoted line from Julius Caesar, "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look" in connection with early modern discourse on envy, noting that Shakespeare departed from source material in making Cassius envious of Caesar, and unpacking implication of leaness and hunger with respect to envy. Argues that Shakespeare’s figuring of envy resonated with contemporary audiences. English summary, 67.
